Why Clone Windows 7 to New Hard Drive?

Since the release of Windows 7, the problem of "low disk
space" in system drive has become even more serious. Combined with the installation of
many newly released larger-sized applications, the storage capacity of the old hard drive can
hardly meet the requirement of the users. Under this circumstance, users must come up with
effective countermeasures. Or they would face the extremely low running speed of the computers.
What's worse, the system would crash unexpectedly if the space is extremely low.

Clone Hard Drive Windows 7 via Freeware

To fix the trouble covered before, a great solution is to clone Windows 7 disk to new and larger

that supports Disk Clone and Partition Clone. The advanced feature System Clone is built-in

Clone Windows 7 to HDD Step by Step

With clear operation prompts and wizards, AOMEI Backupper has been regarded as an all-in-one and
easy-to-use cloning software. To clone Windows 7 disk freely, please follow the steps below:

Step 2: Select current Windows 7 hard drive as source disk. Click "Next" and

Sector by sector clone will clone all section including unused ones to new
drive. This requires the target disk is equal to or larger than the source disk. If you keep
this option unchecked, the software will clone only used part of the source disk, which is
useful in cloning larger drive to smaller one.

Check SSD Alignment if the target drive is SSD.
